Never heard of it in Georgia. Not even from my step-parents, who are the very picture of white trash.
Sounds disgusting. Probably a black thing.

i put ketchup in my spagheti :^)

>>8919576
I'm from the South and this is fucking repulsive. We don't even eat spaghetti as a whole, it'd be like a Sicilian eating dim sum for dinner.
I put a touch of sugar, along with garlic salt, basil and oregano into a small can of tomato sauce for pasta if i'm feeling lazy and there's no girlfriend to feed and impress.

Have you ever had jarred sauce? Then you've had sugar in your sauce, sweetie.

>>8919585
everyone does :P

I put brown sugar in chili

Forgot to mention that my brother added honey to hamburger helper to "elevate the flavor". This was in the 2009 recession, mind you, and it was 2 boxes with milk, ground chuck, all destroyed by a tablespoon. Dad was pissed and made him eat it while we had takeout.

>>8919602
Dumbass

I always add a bit of sugar to my meat sauces. That, or half a coke. I also add a pinch of cinnamon.

>>8919576
Cheap tomatoes can be overly bitter/acidic and benefit from added sweetness, but I usually prefer to get that from caramelized onions or carrots. If you're making a quick pasta sauce a pinch of sugar can be okay, but the sauce shouldn't really taste sweet. Also, jarred sauces usually have a lot of salt and sugar in them so people get used to that.

>>8919598
But a little brown sugar in chili is ok (or awesome) but you don't put that much of it into the mix.

OP's pic is just nasty beetus in a bowl

Cinnamon and cocoa are VERY underrated in pasta sauce.
I always impress when I serve cinnamon pepper roast potatoes to family. Got the idea after reading sites like http://www.godecookery.com/goderec/goderec.htm

>>8919576
This is insane. I live in the south and grow Roma tomatoes for canning. They are sweet enough where only a fool would add sugar to their marinara made from them. If you want to rag on the south, I can give you legitimate reasons. This is just stupid.

>>8919576
yeah im from Mississippi and my aunt puts like 1/2 a cup of brown sugar in the sauce. Its ok, definitely not bad tasting, just makes the sauce taste a little more like ketchup I guess, but still no where near ketchup noodles. I prefer it without tho.

Your pic is insulting

>>8919624
>Cinnamon and cocoa are VERY underrated in pasta sauce
I've literally never in 32 years heard of anyone doing that

>>8919576
this can't be true

>>8919585
japs do that as well. well not all of them and not all the time, but it is a thing

>>8919638
Cincinnati Chili usually has one or the other, or both.

MANY old world recipes used cinnamon before new world spices were introduced.

It's not like i'm blending the pot and baking it with icing on top, anon.

>>8919588
not all brands have so much of sugar.

and even if they do it is less than OP's pic

>>8919576
Carrot should make it sweet enough

>>8919576
>I've heard this is a popular thing in the south

I heard it's what the faggots in S.F. and L.A. use for lube.

Everyone with a good gravy puts a bit of sugar in it.

It's the not so secret "secret" ingredient of all Italian grandmothers and mothers

>>8919657
You have to boil baby carrots in water for a bit with starch, but it does make things pretty sweet.

>>8919603
Your dad seems like a just man

I always add a pinch of sugar to any tomato sauce, but that is like a whole cup

>>8919576
>not putting a tbsp of sugar and a tsp of cinnamon in your spaghetti
anyone in MD to recommend a place to take my mom sunday?

I'm in Northern GA and have never heard of it

>>8919576
If you're making the sauce from canned tomatoes, you gotta add a bit of sugar to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes. Not so much with vine-ripened Roma tomatoes, but maybe still.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh13Xd2loto

The problem is people tossing sugar in when using jarred sauce that already has the sugar in it.

>>8919651
Japanese ketchup in general is less sweet (though still fairly sweet overall) compared to american ketchup anyway.

My dad would add a pinch of it sometimes if he was making it from scratch. He's of Italian descent and swore by it. I don't bother myself.

>>8919626
This. I can't stand most jarred sauces because they are too sugary.

I usually put a tablespoon of sugar into my red sauce when I make lasagna. You can't really taste it.

>>8919638
Greek Tomato sauce uses cinnamon and cumin. I've never heard of cocoa before, but a small amount would probably add richness like it does to chili

There's always a bit of sugar in any good tomato sauce. Just to balance out the bitter elements, not to make the sauce sweet. I'd wager that's a black thing.

>>8919859
A cuck originally meant a man who unwittingly raised another man's child thinking it was his own. Its meaning evolved to include a fetish of other men banging your wife, but that's only happened very recently

>>8920001
White trash is way worse, pol-shill.

>>8919616
yeah this. anything more than a healthy pinch or two is probably just dumb

>>8920024
Are you kidding? A jar of Prego has like cup of sugar.

sugar, condensed milk and cheddar cheese goes in filipino spaghetti
was bretty gross 2bh way too sweet, all the flip kids in the province liked it tho

You people are a generation that shouldn't even exist. We need the gas chambers for the empty millenial morons with their stupid notions. You people really are empty fuck ups.

>>8919878
How many fuckable women have you met over 30 that are single and don't have kids? Yeah, that's what I thought. The ones that don't have kids at that point generally look like they have an eating disorder coupled with a genetic failure. If you crawled out of your basement occasionally, you might begin to recognize that, you alt-right drumpfcuck.

>>8919576
If I'm using canned tomatoes, instead of fresh, then I'll add a pinch of sugar, since canned are slightly bitter and not as sweet. However the amount in that picture is crazy, and disgusting.

>>8920144
Maybe you shouldn't be trawling clubs and bars to try to score. Consider church and community service projects, where nice women of various age-groups naturally congregate.

>>8919576
Anything more than a quarter teaspoon for that size pot is wrong.

>>8919576
I'll put in a little brown sugar when I make my sauce but only about half a tablespoon.

This is just uncalled for.

There is a difference between a pinch of sugar in a tomato sauce and a fucking cup of sugar.

>turning "i was born in the wrong generation" into homicidal remarks
I disagree with a lot of current things too but that's a pretty bad way to think about fixing them. Try to lead by example instead of just saying you want to kill everyone you don't like, people will naturally mimic others that they feel are worthy of mimicking. Saying stuff like "we need the gas chambers" will just make any redeeming qualities you have get ignored by the people you're trying to change.

Italiqn-american food is truly shit-tier. Lost any of the subtlety found in actual Italian food, and is largely made using industrial food conglomerate products (i.e. shit)

Just roast your tomato sauce for a few hours and stop with this crazy shit. You develop sugars by roasting, not dumping it in.

A little bit of sugar is great to balance the often acidic taste of tomato. More than that is poor people's food.

If you hear something is popular in the south most of the time it's bullshit. This is one of those times.

if youre really that sensetive use baking soda instead of sugar.

Also, mixing the pasta and sauce in the pan is for black retards

>>8919638
well we have a decent pancake place around and on their tomato/mozarella variant they use a little bit of cinnamon which works surprisingly well. also tiny amounts of cinnamon is pretty common in lots of savory mediterranean dishes.

ive never used cocoa in a pasta sauce but it works well in chili so i dont see a reason to exclude it per se.

then again especially with italian pasta dishes its more about less but best quality ingredients.

>>8919576
I'll sprinkle a pinch of it and a small pinch of smoked paprika on top of mine, it adds a contrasting flavor. Not really the dumping a half pound of sugar on one plate of spaghetti though.

>>8919576

>>8919576
Gross. Use a PINCH of sugar - no more than a few pinches - just to cut the acidity of the tomatoes and enhance the natural sweetness of the tomatoes, basil, etc. No more than a hint of sweetness.

>>8919576
my italian heart is crying

>>8919576
Goddamn. Just a pinch, anon. And we sugar our own spaghetti in my house. Just like you would salt your own food, you elect to add a pinch of sugar to your own plate of spaghetti. I typically add my pinch into the sauce since I heat that separately while the pasta is cooking. Im from Virginia, so there's your "its a southern thing."

>>8919576
My brother put cinnamon in the spaghetti sauce.
It was bad.

>>8919652
I can guarantee this is true. You can probably pick up Skyline chili mix or frozen at the store, and it has cinnamon in it. Tastes better from the restaurant though.

>>8919576
I put sugar in my Spaghetti but like 2 individual packets to add a bit of sweetness to the sauce not 2 heaping tablespoons

>>8919576
Just use a sweet wine. Much better flavor.

Black guy from Georgia here. I have never seen or heard of anyone ever doing this. Disgusting.

Another Georgian. I've always put about 1-2 tsp of sugar in my spaghetti sauce because that's the way my mother and her mother has always done it.

>>8919576
>HEY Y'ALL DIABETUS

I can see someone doing this if they're using absolute shit ingredients but at that point when you need to add shit like sugar to counter acidity what's the damn point just buy better quality product.

The Godfather ruined spaghetti. fucker puts in sugar AND wine. maybe some wine would do well, but not sweet wine. eat the god damn tomatoes, enjoy the acidity. i like tomato flavor, not sugar flavor

>>8921658
>>8921055

I've worked on italian restaurants before and actually that depends mostly on the sauce and the type of pasta.

Is not rare to mix when it's short pasta, for example.

>>8920001
Texas is its own thing really, it's sort of not what people think of when they say "The South." They think of plantations, white trash and industrial sinkholes like Georgia and Mississippi. Not cowboys, George Bush and an economy that lately favors urbanization.

>>8919576
I used to eat plain noodles with sugar. I used to be made fun of for it.

I'll never understand anyone's compulsive need to add an assload of sugar in nearly everything much less to that extent.

People wonder why fuckers die of diabetes or have to get their leg chopped off.
